The National Park Service (NPS) has shared Bandelier’s National Monument’s 2024 annual report.

“I am very proud of our progress toward achieving our strategic goals and the many other accomplishments by our staff and our partners,” Superintendent Patrick Suddath said. “We continue to strive to be the premier park for showcasing the ancestral and ongoing connections between the outstanding cultural and natural resources contained in Bandelier, and the Pueblos and Tribes that continue to call this place home.”
